HAIR-'WAVING DEVICE.

Application filed November 16, 1927. Serial No. 233,703.

My present invention has reference to an extremely simple, cheaply constructed but thoroughly effective means for treating ladies hair to wave the same so that the hair is ornamented with what is commonly known as Marcel waves.

An object is the provision of a hair waving apparatus, that includes a hinged cap made up of metal sections which are corrugated and which are shaped to correspond to the shape of the head, the said sections having their outer ends rounded for the reception of trough-like members which impart curls to the end strands of the hair, while the corrugated portions of the cap are adapted to receive therethrough prongs which pierce the hair and force the same against the walls provided by the said corrugations, the sa d prongs being connected and the said devlce 1n full being heated to the desired extent which will not inflict injury to the hair or to the head of the user and the sections of the cap being apertured to permit of a circulation of outside air to the hair being treated.

The improvement also resides in certain other novel features of construction, comb1- nation and operative association of parts, one satisfactory embodiment of which 1S disclosed by the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings: p

Figure 2 is a sectional view through the improvement approximately on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional view approxlmately on the line 4-4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a perspective view of the nected pins employed.

My improvement is of metal, preferably of aluminum so that the same isrendered light and will not be inconvenient when arranged on the head of the wearer. The improvement includes a cap which is made up of two sections 1 and 2. The metal cap is shaped to correspond to the shape of the head of the user and the rear of the cap is formed with a downwardly extending flange 3. The sections 1 and 2 have a loose hinge connection, such as a link 4, that passes through openings in the confronting ends of the cap sections. The cap is corrugated longitudinally to provide inwardly and outwardly ex tended rounded portions and the cap is aper- COIltured, as at 5, so that air is permitted to freely circulate therein whenarranged on the head of the user. One of the sections may be provided with more corrugations than the other, in accordance with the desire of the user to have her hair parted either at the side or at the center. The outer ends of the cap sections 1 and 2 are rounded upon themselves, as at 6, and these rounded portions are designed to receive therein rounded trough-like metal members 8. The troughs curl the side strands of the hair, forcing the said strands against the rounded or beaded portion 6 of the cap. The flange 3 of the cap is provided with spaced openings and these openings are designed to receive therethrough the ends of curved or arched pins 9. The outer edge of the cap is also flanged downwardly, as at 10, and the pins 9 are bent to form the same with depressed portions 11 for receiving therein the edges of the flanges 10. The pins 9 are connected to heads 12, the said heads being shaped to correspond with the corrugations in the cap.

The hair is treated in the usual manner and the improvement maybe slightly heated and the cap is then arranged on the head of the wearer. The side strands are, as previously stated, received between the beads 6 of the cap and what I have termed the trough members 8. One edge of each of the trough members 8 is rounded upon itself to provide a head 13 and the end pins 14 of each of the connected series are designed to be received in these beads for holding the troughs associated with the improvement. When the pins are inserted through the hair, the hair is forced through the grooves provided in the corrugated cap and after the device has been sustained on the head of the user for a desired period of time the hair, upon the removal of the said device will have imparted thereto a Marcel wave.

The simplicity and advantages of the invention will, it is thought, be apparent so that further detailed description will not be required.

Having described the invention, I claim:

1. A device for imparting Marcel waves to the hair of a person, comprising a metal cap made up of loosely hinged sections shaped to correspond to the shape of the head of the user, corrugated longitudinally and apertured, said metal cap havingits edges flanged and its rear flange provided with spaced apertures in a line with the outwardly bulged portions of the corrugations, pins arranged in connected series and designed to be passed through the outwardly bulged portions of the corrugations and to have one of their ends received through the apertures in the said flange and said pins, adjacent to their connected ends, being bent to engage with the outer flange of the cap.

2. A device for imparting Marcel Waves to the hair of a person, comprising a metal cap made up of loosely hinged sections shaped to correspond to the shape of the head of the user. corrugated longitudinally and apertured. said metal cap having its edges flanged and its rear flange provided with spaced apertures in a line with the outwardly bulged portions of the corrugations, pins arranged in connected series and designed to he passed through the outwardly bulged portions of the corrugations and to have one of their ends receired through the apertures in the said flange and said pins, adjacent to their connected ends. heine heat to engage with the outer flange ot' the cap, said cap having its ends rounded to provide heads, a troughlike metal lnelnher receiving each head therein and the inner edge of each of the troughlike nieuihers having. a head to receive the end pins therethrough.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
